| Popis: | The charts were reviewed of 79 patients with a diagnosis of carcinoma of the urinary bladder, who were managed by radiotherapy between 1%5 and 1972. All patients were irradiated with curative intent, either radical or pre-operative treatment. The majority of the patients were found to have advanced stage and high grade tumors. All living patients have been followed up for at least 5 years; for those who died, the date of death has been recorded. The 5 year survival was 1566 (23%) patients for group I (radiation only) whereas 6 of 13 (46%) patients survived five or more years in group II (pre-operative radiation therapy). At least 20–30% of invasive bladder tumors could be eradicated with radiation therapy alone. Although this is a retrospective study on a small group of selected patients, a trend in the present data suggests that the 5 year survival may be increased when a moderate dose of radiation is given pre-operatively. |
